Wigan Warriors • Potential trouble for Saints and Walmsley

It's this from Stu, who to be fair is generally a good poster, that makes me laugh. He's here saying they don't get the credit they deserve but thinks nothing of posting:
What about when Wigan dominated all those years? They were the only full time team then so hardly a fair competition. Now that the playing field is level, they haven't dominated in the same way.
In other words "it's an unfair comp when Wigan take an advantage but a level playing field when Saints do".
They can't have it both ways.
So what advantage do we have in a salary capped sport?
My point about Wigan was that they were the only full time club in the game (maybe Leeds were as well if I recall) playing against part-time players who trained twice a week whilst working full-time.
Quite a big advantage I'd say. Not to mention the cash to pay record fees for the likes of Offiah at the time.
